How to Backup Browser Settings

Modified on: Thu, 13 Dec, 2018 at 11:19 AM

There are two ways of doing a backup for bookmarks. One is signing into your web browser, usually done at the top right corner with a person icon that you can click on. Second way, is to export them in the web browser as a html file that can be read by any web browser.

Signing into you browser will ensure that all settings, bookmarks, saved data etc. will easily repopulate (Highly recommended)–

Click the Library button , then click Bookmarks. Scroll to the bottom and click Show all Bookmarks.

From the toolbar on the Library window, click Import and Backup and choose Export Bookmarks to HTML....

In the Export Bookmarks File window that opens, choose a location to save the file, which is named bookmarks.html by default. The desktop is usually a good spot, but any place that is easy to remember will work.

Click the Save button. The Export Bookmarks File window will close.

Close the Library window.

Your bookmarks are now successfully exported from Firefox. The bookmarks HTML file you saved is now ready to be imported into another web browser.
